Many women have a complex about their chubby cheeks and carefully try to hide them. It turns out that it’s not so simple - especially when it’s not about excess weight, but about the shape and type of face. The right hairstyle can save the situation. And here the owners of long hair are the luckiest of all - they just have to style it correctly. We will tell you about 8 simple hairstyles, cuts and styling that will visually make your face look thinner. No magic!

Long asymmetrical bangs

If you have a naturally round face or large cheeks, then forget about thick, straight bangs that reach your eyebrows. On the contrary, it will highlight these imperfections even more. Short bangs to the middle of the forehead will not work for the same reason.

Your option is torn bangs to the nose, corner of the lips or chin. It is convenient to lay it along a straight parting, on one side, and over the eyes. Uneven strands falling from the forehead will visually elongate facial features and noticeably reduce the volume of the cheeks. @maloriemhair

Side parting

Even a simple parting can change the shape of your face. See for yourself! Try combing your hair to one side: due to the side parting, part of the face will be hidden, which means its general outline will change and the cheeks will no longer stand out so much.

Volumetric styling

Against the backdrop of a lush head of hair, any face looks thin. The main thing is without fanaticism. You should not comb strands all over your head or curl tight curls from the very roots - surrounded by such a mane, your cheeks will become the most noticeable part of your face.

But the root volume only at the crown will create additional verticality and bring your face closer to the ideal oval. Of course, the cheeks will remain in place, they just won't be as noticeable.

Light curls

Long wavy hair is the easiest and most stylish way to hide your cheeks. It is only important that the strands frame the face along the cheekbones - then it will appear narrower. If the curls puff up in dense springy curls, you will get the same mane that we talked about above.

Remember the soft flowing hairstyles of Hollywood stars and disheveled, as if slightly damp beach curls - these are the hairstyles that will help hide imperfections.

Bun

A smooth bun like a ballerina's is not the best solution for chubby cheeks. Sleek hair looks as if it is almost gone, and the face itself becomes like the disk of the full moon. At the same time, a bun with a good backcomb, and even surrounded by unruly strands, is what you need to create graceful outlines. Curls at the temples and long bangs will help your face “lose weight.”
@vikavorobyeva_hair This hairstyle always looks relaxed and natural. The main thing is that the bun sits tightly and does not fall to the side. Experiment: go low or pair it with loose hair. Just don’t forget about the root volume and loose strands near your face!

Tail

Ponytails combed back don't suit chubby girls at all. After all, such a hairstyle shows the whole face in full view - there is nowhere for the cheeks to hide. But all you have to do is gather a high ponytail at the very top of your head, pull out a few strands along your cheekbones - and voila! The face immediately lengthens, and the cheeks seem much thinner.
@aliyana.hairstylist

@anastasia_penkovskaya By the way, a low ponytail can also correct your features if you remember to comb your hair in time and move your ponytail to the side. Curls at the edges will distract attention from the cheeks and also narrow the face.

Cascade

It's quite problematic to hide a full face behind thin straight hair, right? After all, smooth hair reveals all the contours like a sheath dress. We urgently need volume here! This means it’s time to remember about the cascade and ladder - a multi-level haircut or graduation will add pomp. And to enhance the effect, lightly curl some strands. It is only important that the facial hair is no shorter than the chin line and covers the cheekbones.
@kristina_vikhanova

@luxury.hairshop There is only one BUT: multi-layered haircuts are most often incompatible with bangs. This tandem widens the face and emphasizes the cheeks. Therefore, choose one thing: either a fashionable cascading haircut or a daring uneven bang.

Long bob

If you have long been ready to part with the length, but do not at all agree to show others your plump, round face, then ask the hairstylist to cut your bob cut to lengthen it. Don't worry, the hair that covered your cheeks and made your face look thin will remain in place. Just don't cut them above the jawline, otherwise everything will go down the drain. But the strands on the back of your head will become shorter and make daily styling easier.
@ghdrussia And it is not at all necessary to cut your hair very short: the hair at the back can completely cover the neck, and the front strands can smoothly reach the chest. Wear a long bob with a backcomb on top and a side parting. And asymmetrical torn bangs will complement the look.

Many women who are naturally gifted with chubby cheeks dream look slimmer at least visually, have seductive sunken cheekbones and sharper features.

This can be done if you know the rules for applying makeup, the purpose of which is make our face thinner.

What funds will be required?

How to use cosmetics to make your face thinner? To correct the oval of the face, they are used liquid and dry means.

The latter will only add dryness to the skin, which is already dehydrated, and will make small wrinkles more noticeable. The foundation will allow moisturize the skin and provide it with an even shade.

For daytime makeup, you need to choose a tone that is as close as possible to natural, for evening You can choose a base one or two shades darker.

To correct the face using dry powder, you can use two shades of it– a tone darker and lighter than your natural one, respectively. Using powder, you need to darken those areas that seem problematic and too voluminous to you.

Graceful lines are brightened. Apply more to cheeks dark powder, and light- on the cheekbone area. Try to avoid strong, sloppy color transitions. For high-quality shading, a special brush is used. Be sure to highlight your cheekbones with blush.

How to make sunken cheeks?

If you want to emphasize your cheekbones, be sure to use makeup blush. The higher they are applied, the clearer the contours of the face will be. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of pink and light brown blush.

To create sunken cheekbones, you will need two colors of blush. The lighter one is applied from the lower chin line to the temple area. The tone that is darker should be shaded from the top point on the cheekbone towards the cheek.

To determine the area of ​​the cheeks that needs to be darkened, draw out your lips with a tube - where dimples appear, you should work with blush.

When applying makeup to the cheek area, follow this algorithm.

Cool styling can change both your mood and your appearance. So that you know which options are currently trending and how to replicate them, we talked to professionals in their field - experts in all matters related to hair. In the first “issue,” the gurus will tell you what to do to make your face look thinner.

Alexey Nagorsky

creative partner of L’Oréal Professionnel

“If you want to visually narrow your face, choose hairstyles with falling strands. Hyper volume and combed back hair will not work in this case. Our goal is to create straight vertical lines. Moreover, this rule works for both round and triangular face types. Another good option is long bangs to the tip of the nose and below, which diverges with curtains on two sides. The main thing is that it covers the frontal depressions - when we narrow the forehead, the face becomes oval. As for the styling itself, apply cream for smoothness, then dry your hair by brushing it and make a comfortable parting. At the end, you can further stretch the front strands with an iron and then let them fall freely along the face. If you have long hair, you can curl it a little more using a large curling iron (about 38 millimeters). You should get a barely perceptible wave - intense curls add volume, and we need vertical lines. That’s why I generally don’t recommend curling medium-length hair for those with a wide face.”

Mila Belova

“Now everyone is trying to make the face visually narrower and the features sharper. Of course, first of all we are talking about makeup, but there are also a couple of “correct” hairstyles that can help with this. I'll tell you about a few of them at once. It is believed that girls with a wide face should never have bangs. If we are talking about straight bangs that cover the forehead, it is definitely not possible. It turns out that you visually “cut off” half of your face, which makes it look even wider. But now it’s fashionable “ curtain bangs"can make the face appear longer and thinner. The main rule is that it should be long enough, reach the middle of the cheek and be divided in the center. The instant “weight loss” effect is guaranteed.

Another option is asymmetrical parting. When all the hair is combed to one side, the width of the face is visually noticeably reduced. But remember: you shouldn’t curl your hair too much - a voluminous hairstyle will expand your face even more. It is better to leave them straight or make light waves. The basic rule to follow when creating hairstyles is that you should strive for an oval shape. If the face is wide, you need to either add volume on top, or “cut off” the width due to the hair covering the face.”

Work with the tone

Before you start shaping your face with bronzers and sculpting palettes, create a base. The best way to handle this is with a liquid highlighter: it should be applied under foundation. Use it on the prominent areas of the face: cheekbones, area under the eyebrows, a thin strip above the lip and on the bridge of the nose (not reaching the tip). The technique will create a very soft relief that will emphasize the protrusions on the face.

Place micro-accents

When you have applied the highlighter and then the tone, start working on individual areas using a sculptor or contouring palette. Choose grayish shades rather than pinkish ones - they give the most natural shade color. This means that it will seem that you naturally have clear cheekbones or a thin nose.

Choose creamy textures

They always lie smoother and are always less noticeable on the skin. The most convenient cream textures are in a stick; you can draw on your face with them, like with a pencil, and they are easier to shade.

Choose the right brush

Shading is perhaps the most important detail in all makeup. A good brush seems to draw all the necessary lines on the face, while a bad one emphasizes everything unnecessary and sometimes turns girls into leaders of Indian tribes. For creamy textures, a double-bristled brush is ideal (makeup artists call it duofiber). For all dry ones – a brush with natural bristles.

Cover the horizon

Apply correctors and sculptors not horizontally (for example, under the cheekbone), but diagonally, as if extending the contour - going beyond the cheekbone and temple, working on both the cheekbone itself and the forehead. Also be sure to work the line under the jaw to create a beautiful facial contour. Sculpt your nose strictly vertically.

Skip the blush

If you have round features and cheeks, try skipping the blush. Many makeup artists say that blush should be applied strictly to the apples of the cheeks. But if this is done to a person with already prominent cheeks or the owner of a round face, it will only worsen the situation. Therefore, often, in order to visually lose weight in your face, you just need to give up blush. Can't live without them? Apply blush to the top part of your cheekbone, where you would normally use highlighter.

There are a lot of articles and videos on the Internet about how to visually. But there is also a reverse request, which is not so widely covered in various beauty sources. Today we will talk about the rules and features of makeup for girls with a thin face. Also at the end of the article you will find a detailed master class on correcting an elongated shape.

Corrective makeup for a thin and elongated face: general recommendations

A narrow, “doll” face with chiseled cheekbones - most fashionistas dream of this and are ready to spend hours in front of the mirror, drawing aggressive contouring in the spirit of Kim Kardashian. But outright thinness and overly sunken cheeks look unattractive and create the impression of a sick, emaciated face. Fortunately, such a defect can be easily corrected with competent make-up.

• The primary goal of makeup for a thin, elongated face with a high forehead and long chin is to visually expand it using the right combination of light and shadow. The principle is this: we darken everything that needs to be reduced, and vice versa - where there is not enough volume, we lighten it and add highlights. In our case, dark shades (shading) are used to work out the hairline and chin, and light powder is applied to the upper part of the cheekbones and the area above and below the eyebrow.
• To make your face look fuller, you will need a foundation in two shades: one that blends with the skin and one that is a couple of shades darker. Distribute the shading in the area of ​​the subzygomatic cavity (without going into the center of the face!), at the roots of the hair and at the tip of the chin. Apply your regular foundation on top.
• One of the main secrets of makeup for a thin face with sunken cheeks is that blush should be applied only to the “apples” in a circular motion. No bright diagonal stripes from lips to temples!

• Add radiance to the center of the face. Use highlighter to highlight the upper part of the cheekbones, the inner corners of the eyes, the brow area, and the “tick” above the lip.
• When using eye makeup, try to avoid dark colors: they emphasize thinness and make you look tired. Better take a closer look at pastel colors, gold, bronze. Black, graphite or dark brown can be used to highlight the eyelash edge or draw elegant arrows.
• For graphic facial features, makeup artists advise slightly rounding the contour of the lips with a pencil.
• Don't overuse contouring! Makeup for a thin face in a photo and in life is not the same. In Instagram photos, hard shading can look very impressive, but “in real life” it will look as if it was done with a ruler and a protractor. Proper modeling should make you more attractive and at the same time remain invisible to others.

ADVICE. Correctly chosen hairstyle will also help correct imperfections. Various variations of bangs, cascading haircuts, slightly elongated bobs, voluminous curls, strands released near the face and other hairdressing tricks, coupled with successful make-up, allow you to achieve an excellent result.

Makeup for a thin, long face: instructions with photos

Leather

• Apply foundation to previously cleansed and moisturized face. A brush is better for thick coverage; a beauty blender is better for fluid, BB or CC cream.
• Cover problem areas with corrector: circles under the eyes, pimples, spider veins.
• Use a light concealer to work on the upper part of the cheekbones (this will add the missing volume to the cheeks), the space above and below the eyebrows, and the back of the nose.
• Use a darker concealer, foundation or sculptor to mark the area under the cheekbone. Use it to shade the hairline above the temples, the bottom of the chin and blend everything thoroughly.
• Powder your face and apply a soft peach blush to the high points of your cheeks.
• Use a powder highlighter to lightly touch your cheekbones, brow bone area, inner corners of your eyes and upper lip.

Eyebrows and eyes

If the eyebrows are quite thick and bright by nature, it is enough to comb and fix the hairs with transparent gel (wax). For light and thin brows, use a pencil or shadow in a matching shade to define the shape and add color.

Apply a base coat to the entire moving eyelid, and on top. Darken the fold and outer corner with bronze pigment, and use it to highlight the lower eyelid. Mark the edge of the eyelash with a thin pencil arrow: the look will instantly become deeper. Curl your eyelashes with a curler and apply voluminous mascara.

Lips

For daytime makeup, it is better to choose translucent gloss or lipstick in neutral colors. To achieve the fashionable effect of kissed lips, apply the product in the center, and then blend it with a synthetic brush to the corners, slightly extending beyond the natural contour.
